Books with title Real-life Stories: Adele

As you read Ten Real-Life Stories, you will meet a fascinating variety of people. The one thing they have in common is they are real. So are their stories. Here are a few of the people you will learn about:Vingo, a man released from prison, going home to a wife who may not want him.Richard, a little boy who “invented" a father to hide his embarrassment.Paul, so afraid of bullying that he betrayed a friend at school. Lupe, a "retarded" girl who wasn’t.Ben, whose mother would not allow him to fail.Marvel, who fooled everyone into believing she could read.Jean, who found that education could counter the hard blows of life.

With incredible openness and honesty, 39 teens tell their stories, covering topics like falling into drug and alcohol abuse, getting hooked on pornography, struggling with homosexuality, participating in the occult, attempting suicide, becoming pregnant, being physically abused, living in foster homes, going to jail, getting kicked out of the house and living on the street, and other heart-wrenching experiences. The good news is that every one of these teens had a life-changing encounter with God. They experienced the grace, forgiveness, and healing that turned their sorrow into joy. Yes, some still have struggles and scars-but all are with a hope they didn't believe was possible. Suzanne Eller, a writer and youth worker, has carefully helped the teens to craft and edit their stories in a way that is candid and real, but without glamorizing or sensationalizing the hardest moments of life. The result is a book that provides teens with a unique opportunity to receive in-your-face spiritual insights-because it is coming from people their own age who have "been there." Even teens who are not in extreme situations will be inspired by these stories that reveal God's power to transform lives.
